Committee Chair: Anthony Baggett
Committee: Website Chair
Hello from the Website Committee! Thank you for allowing me to serve as your Area 37 Website committee chair.
We had a productive meeting. We were assigned to Report & Charter IX and International Conventions/Regional Forums XII. We reviewed and discussed all the items in both background documents. Following are the conclusions and overall thoughts on the items from each document:
ICRF XII
- Discuss the upcoming 2025 International Convention. – Did not get to this
- Review progress report on the development of a new declaration to be adopted at the 2030 International Convention. – Did not get to this
- Consider that all Sovereign States flags be a part of the Flag Ceremony at an International Convention. – The general consensus among the committee was to abstan from this. Most people agreed with the spirit of the motion, but felt like it would be difficult, if not impossible to execute during the flag ceremony. The vote was 1 nay – 6 abstain
- Discuss ways to encourage interest and participation at Regional Forums. – Did not get to this
- Final Report from Subcommittee on RF Improvements – Did not get to this
- Review report from Subcommittee to Review Regional Forums Request for Information (RFI) Forms – Did not get to this
Report & Charter IX
- The A.A. Service Manual, 2026-2028 Edition – Regarding item 4 (Removing the word “woman” from the concepts IV essay. The vote was 7 yea, 0 nay, 0 abstain
- Consider a request to expand Article Three in the Conference Charter to
protect the co-Founders’ writings. – The vote was 7 yae, 0 nay, o abstain in favor of PAI 15. We were unanimously against PAI 81 & 26. There was some confusion as to why 109 was included as it pertains more to the PLBB than the founders writings, but the committee was unanimously against PAI 109. - Review progress report on exploring the creation of a corresponding trustees’ Committee for Report and Charter – Did not get to this
- Discuss General Service Conference Final Report. – Did not get to this
We are also excited to announce we have rolled out the system that allows DCM’s to update the meeting information for their district. The system is called MeetingMaker. We rolled it out to a select set of districts (10, 11, 12 & 33) to start with so we can identify bugs or problems before rolling it out to all interested districts. DCM’s, if you are interested in participating in this, please contact me at [email protected] and I will get you on the list. We will roll it out a few districts at a time for the rest of 2025 until we get everyone on it that wants to have access.
We’ve also been working with the Convention Committee to get the pre-registration setup on the website and have been working on a plan for handling registration and check-in at the convention.
In service,
Anthony B.
